No, very clearly not.

I’m commenting on the effectiveness of a course of action.

Are we not in the same thread?

What’s your retirement age now?

But genuinely, I’ll accept that as generally true. One issue we have that you don’t is you can get to the actual capital of power in like 5 hours from anywhere in the country. A very large swath of the more liberal population of this country lives 50 expensive driving hours or a very expensive flight away and there are very few labor protections. Most businesses are run by people who are on the side of the government, meaning you are asking folks to lose their job, fly or drive ~5000km, all to stand outside a place with armed riot police with signs. That doesn’t sound appealing, nor does it sound effective based on the violent and blatantly illegal actions undertaken by the us government in DC and Portland during the previous trump administration.

So then the question becomes: is it time for an actual armed protest. Is that the right step?

Since you asked the part that stood out was very small

I guess I could have easily said that in the first comment.

Feels a little: ugh sure I guessss I could have explained more, so tedious

Clearly this was a misinterpretation.

I enjoy the argument because it’s a taboo, so nobody has a good argument. Nobody thinks it’s a real command. Nobody thinks for a moment Linus even wants that person dead. It’s Just Not How We Do Things here in Polite Society. We say “fuck you, c-loving geriatric” but “I can’t wait to see you in a grave, old man” is considered different even though the literal words are irrelevant. The speaker likely has no real interest in fucking the other coder, nor seeing them in a grave.

This amusingly puts it in precisely the same category as like, grandma being upset that their gkid won’t wear a bra or shave their pits.

You seem very intent on convincing multiple people we are more inconvenienced than we feel.

I think you are missing the feeling of smug superiority that comes from defeating the feeble multi-million dollar attempts to punish us…with 5 mouse clicks. So on the surface level it might be an inconvenience, but you step into the actual activity and boom, we’re telling these dumbasses to fuck off. And that’s fun.

That speaks to the historical purpose of journalism in the United States more than malice. When journalism doesn’t do that you get fox. Or the entire uk press.

Onedrive is easy to completely disable with group policy or registry tokens.

Yes if only we had any way to get this information. Sadly you and I are both completely ignorant.

Yep

It’s like when YouTube finds a way to show you an ad, and then you go to ublock and update filters and boom fixed.

Oh no Italy is requiring something unenforceable, hopefully nobody from other countries ignores this and provides VPN access unhindered.

Yep, playing Katy Perry’s Roar very loud, I just saw it in another article.

But did you read the exchange this conversation is about? It sounds like you’re operating on month-old headlines.

Why? Are you concerned that the date/time widget author is going to kill themselves? Or do you just not like the concept and don’t think people should talk about it? Something else?

One of those options is unlikely and the other is just a taboo.

Don’t threaten me with a good time

You really don’t seem ok.

Some are racist 20-somethings

No at Tesla he abuses his own workers and isn’t held accountable by the executive branch.

Here he is abusing our workers and isn’t held accountable by the judicial branch.

Totally separate.

You criticized people for “not lifting a finger” and get mad when someone asks which finger you personally lifted? You are only allowed to criticize people for living their life if you are not a hypocrite. It sounds like of the items you listed I’d describe 60% as barely lifting a finger (phone canvas, minimal value; “vocal” online, zero value) and 40% as definitely lifting a finger (volunteering at unspecified org) which makes you not a hypocrite by my personal math.

I personally have no intention at all of answering your question because I didn’t make any statements as generally attacking as your own to start with, and feel no need to justify asking you to show your stripes.

I am not sure where guns came into play. However, I don’t think you should be owning guns: you don’t seem 100% stable given the disproportionate response, and I would worry that disproportionate response would come out while driving or other stressful activities.

But I got the opportunity to make a dumb joke about math that you seemingly got mildly butthurt about, so really it all works out.

Is there an example in the last 40 years of this working in the United States?

I said that will stop this in any way. Do you have an example of this working in the last 40 years?
